Abstract:

Gastrointestinal diseases impose a significant morbidity, mortality, and health care cost burden, affecting millions annually in the United States alone. Endoscopy plays a crucial role in managing these conditions. Despite technological advancements in endoscopy, ensuring efficient, high-quality care remains challenging. A critical need to standardize high-quality endoscopy is for education reform in the training of endoscopists. Traditional apprenticeship-based training methods are dependent on the trainer as well as the patient case mix. Simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) emerges as a promising strategy to improve endoscopy training. This review discusses the current state of SBML for optimizing upper endoscopy and colonoscopy efficiency.
